engine cuts out

[Efraim Gavrilovich]

It's a vacuum leak. I went through very same experience, although after the
third stall I learned how to keep engine alive while coming to a stop at
intersection. After driving like that for a week, changed one of the rubber
hoses and the problem was gone.

My daughters 89 200 starts and runs beautifully, except on several occasions
when it just cuts out just before coming to a complete stop at an
intersection.  When I tried to start it, I repeated cranked it without any
sign of it starting.  After about a minute, I was mentally think it was time
to push to the side of the road and call AAA, when it fired up as if nothing
was wrong.  It happened again on another occasion to my daughter, with
exactly the same symptoms -- near stop -- cuts out -- no sign of firing
after repeated efforts -- then starts and run flawless.  In her case, she
only got to the next intersection when it cut out again.   Same routine,
then it started.  Do these symptoms sound familiar to anyone.  None of my
turbo Audi's have done this to me before.
